President of the University of Jordan, Nazir Obeidat, said that an internal investigation has been launched into a fight that occurred Thursday on campus.

Obeidat added, in a statement published by the University of Jordan on its official Facebook page, that the number of students in the university exceeds 53,000, and that fights occur in all universities between a few students who do not represent the vast majority.

He added that what happened on Thursday was a “small quarrel that was resolved by the university and was immediately controlled,” adding that it was totally unacceptable.

Obeidat said that this is a university with an educational mission represented in “arming students with science and knowledge,” and not a place for violence and quarrels.
